The student to teacher ratios are wrong on this site. At Life School it is 25:1 from Kindergarten to 4th grade. From 5th grade on the class sizes are larger. Dismissal is hectic. Because Life School is a charter school that serives many different cities in the area, it does not have a bus system.

As with any school, it has its pros and cons. Life School is doing its best to raise student leaders. I think that they are doing a good job! Read less

A few good teachers, a couple of great teachers, a bizarre administration, Stalinistic tactics that pass as discipline, we'll be working on trust issues with our child for years to come. Indifferent staff, unconcerned administrators, overcrowding. Last year the kids were switched from homerooms 2 weeks

This is not a good alternative to public schools. If it is a school of choice, then it should be your second, or third choice. There's more to a child's education than browbeaten conformaty, and that's said by a parent with a child who does not have behavior issues. The facility is on a septic system and closes with any inclement weather. Read less

My son has been at Life School Lancaster for 2 years now and so far I am pleased. The only thing that I wish they had was cheaper uniforms, talented and gifted program, gymnasium, library, and playground. Besides that they are a good school and parent participation is required.

This school has been an answer to our many prayers. We have 2 children in the Jr High & 1 in Kindergarten at LSRO. This is our first year & we do not have one complaint. The teachers have all been great & some have gone above & beyond for the students. Some offer before or after school tutoring if the

It was well worth it & I would do it every year in a heartbeat if that is what it took to keep our children there. Our plan is for all of our children to graduate from LSRO. Read less

This school is great for the lower level classes. As the kids move up into 6th grade, they are not really being challenged. Discipline is good, but the classes are beginning to get over crowded.

He makes great grades and his confidence is so high. I know the staff is very dedicated and the principle wants the school to be the best at everything. Parents are required to attend 'Parent Nights' and classes are given on different ways to help your student(s)! Bravo! Read less

My son has been at LSRO for two years now. His previous teacher was excellent, we appreciated the way she communicated with us daily. The only concern that I have is the fact that the student per teacher ratio is getting out of hand. One reason for choosing LSRO was the quality of education, parent
... Read more involvement, and teacher/student ratio, and over crowding in public schools, but now LSRO is well over the the state average and each year it's getting worse. In order to receive a solid education, the number of students per teacher should be less than 24-25 students. First thru third grades are important learning years and if a student is not able to get the attention they need early on, they tend to fall behind later. I hope this is addressed in the future.
